Learning to Read Tarot
by Emberlyn Chase
Intuitively
When most people first begin working with the Tarot they follow the guidelines set forth for them by others. With their trusty book in hand, they lay down their cards according to a predetermined spread and recite the rote card meaning noted on the page. Eventually they begin to memorize the keywords and meanings for each card they turn over. Although they no longer need to consult their book, they are still reciting someone else’s interpretation of the cards. While there is certainly nothing wrong with following a set spread or consulting your favorite Tarot dictionary, you are only scratching the surface of your readings.
Within this guide, we will look at seven different ways to “read” Tarot without actually consulting a book. Combined with the printable worksheets included here, you can use this guide to help you cultivate your own meanings and interpretations for the Tarot.
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE AND WORKBOOK:
This guide is divided into 7 sections, one for each of the intuitive reading methods. Each section contains a worksheet designed to be used with a single card. You are welcome to print 78 of each of the worksheets as you work through all of the cards in your Tarot deck. Or to save ink and paper, I recommend simply using the worksheets as a guide and transcribing them into a notebook. This will allow you to keep all your reflections in one place.
You may choose to work with only one of the methods suggested in this guide, or to really dig deep into your practice, go through each method with every card. Follow your heart and work with whatever method resonates with you.
I am so excited to join you on this journey to learning to read the Tarot intuitively. Please feel free to share your thoughts and your adventure with me at [email protected] or share your pictures with @boho_tarot on Instagram and join the converstation on our Facebook group.
Joyful Blessings!

INTUITIVEREADING
Rather than “reading” the cards, set your book aside and listen to your inner voice. When you focus on following your own intuition you will unlock the individual story of each card and discover the hidden message buried deep inside you.
Let’s take a look at some of the ways that you can use your intuition, or your inner voice, to read the Tarot:

First ImpressionLEARN TO READ INTUITIVELY BY
Take note of your first impression of the card. What is your immediate thought and emotional
reaction? First impressions can tell us a lot about how our inner self instinctively
interprets the card.

Describing the CardLEARN TO READ INTUITIVELY BY
Focus on the artwork and what you see in the card. Be as detailed and descriptive as
you can. Focus on the imagery, the theme, the color, how the
character (if there are any) feel within this situation. Let the
artwork open a pathway to your inner voice and describe what
you see within.

you. Imagine yourself walking through this world
and focus on the sensations your journey offers.

Creating AssociationsLEARN TO READ INTUITIVELY BY
Ask yourself what each card reminds you of. Is there a particular place, feeling or memory that the artwork
evokes within you? Tie each card back to your own
personal experiences.

Comparing KeywordsLEARN TO READ INTUITIVELY BY
Without consulting a book, create a list of two or three
keywords that come to mind when you look at each card.
Note them down before looking up the meanings in your deck’s accompanying book. Compare your own
keywords to those of the ones interpreted by the artist. How do your
impressions compare? How do they differ?

COMPARE KEYWORDS
Compare your keywords to those used by others.

Renaming the CardsLEARN TO READ INTUITIVELY BY
Come up with your own names and titles for
each card. Listen to the whisperings of your inner
voice, your emotional reactions and your first
impressions. What name or title would you give each
card? This works very well with a deck that has had all text removed from its
imagery.

RENAME THE CARDS
Give your cards a new name that flows from within you.
